So... I needed some encouragement, feeling like it's going way too slow. So.. I have come here to look at all your photo's and you all look amazing and are so inspirational. I'm posting my own... mainly for my own benefit because I still have such a long way to go. Good luck to all of you!

I recently got fitted for a bra and bought a new one of the proper size! I can't believe what a difference that makes. My chest looks smaller! Yay!

I tried to make the new picture brighter but I really shouldn't have worn such dark colors. This cami is snug so I wanted to wear it and avoid having to cinch the waist

My boyfriend bought me that baggy sweatshirt in the last picture but even though there's a lot of excess fabric on it I feel great! I'm not so self-conscious to wear baggy clothes anymore, fearing they'll look like a tent

Everyone looks great...the progress can be hard to see day to day but it comes clear with the pics!

I am close to goal but am still kind of in progress because I haven't decided yet if I am done, so thought I'd post a pic, hope nobody minds! Ths first pic is from my son's baptism in 2008, I think I was around 260. The second pic is from May 5th.

Today I took my pic for May, though it's a bit later than I usually take the progress pics. Progress in April and May was a bit slow for me and I had a (very lovely but somewhat fattening ) vacation so time to really buckle down and drop the last bit of weight to goal!

I don't see much difference between my April and May pics but I have lost about 10 lbs so hopefully I go down another size with a bit more weight dropped.

The "spare tire" around my midsection has shrunk since April and also I've noticed my breasts shrinking a bit too.

Last year I was at my all-time weight of 235 and decided to start doing something about it, at the same time taking our 5th round of clomid. I was a few weeks into Power 90, and took my first round of photos when I started. Luckily the clomid worked and baby #2 was on the way! The second picture is the day I delivered (kinda... I had an emergency c-section at 1am) and I left the hospital 3 pounds heavier and very swollen! That would be the third pic at my all time highest weight, 250!! Not many pics the first couple weeks because I ended up back in the hospital for 5 days with a horrible case of pneumonia/pleurisy and it's taken me awhile to bounce back physically from all of that.

The last pic is me this evening after my husband decided it's time to take photos in the cute new shirt we got today because he said he sees a difference and I honestly hadn't until looking at these. I have another 60+ to go, but it's nice seeing a little bit of difference at least! I'm 2 weeks into my calorie counting and 3 weeks into exercising, and I'm feeling really good!! Will be 9 weeks post partum in... oh right this minute! ha ha.

Well, these pictures are unfortunately over the span of almost 2 years... and only 20lbs difference. I don't see much difference in my body, but I can definitely tell in my face. Still plugging away despite my slow progress.
